We need a rich diversity and reforestsation of native plants, and more not less of these, to combat global overheating. And there are abundant clean, renewable and preferable energy sources available for development other than biomass (see www.350.org and www.earth-policy.org).

We would not have to resort to such things as genetic engineering to support our needs if we would start controlling our own population growths. We simply are breeding too much for mother earth, poor mother earth to continue doing so. Should we just let famines or plagues or war do their thing?
